Newsletter

Raven’s Bread (formerly Marabou) derives its name from the experience of Elijah, the prophet in 1Kgs. 17: 1-6. Ravens, sent by God, nourished him during his months of solitude at the Wadi Cherith (the Cutting Place).

Raven’s Bread is a quarterly newsletter (FEB-MAY-AUG-NOV) for hermits and those interested in the eremitical life published by Paul and Karen Fredette. The newsletter seeks to affirm and support this way of life. Raven’s Bread is a collaborative effort and thus depends on the shared reflections, stories, news, notices, letters, and information from hermit-readers themselves.
At this site we offer a free but abbreviated version of our full printed newsletter, omitting the
Bulletin Board, Reader Forum featuring responses to a quarterly discussion topic, and Letters from the readers.
